According to the strategy planned by Hong Chengchou for Dolgon, that is, to abandon the Nanyue Army and the Dashun Army on the east and west roads, and only break the main force of Liu Zongmin's army in the middle in person. Judging from his analysis, www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion said, "Although Li Dagongzi of the East Road is a good soldier, his purpose is to protect the territory and the people. As long as our troops and horses do not enter Shandong, it is unlikely that they will send troops to fight our troops. Li Chuang's own department on the West Road, although he is strong, but after all, there are not many people. There are gentry officials in various parts of Shanxi who continue to revolt, and anyway, he has nothing to worry about along the way. ”

Hong Chengchou paused slightly, "Liu Zongmin, the general of the thieves in the middle of the road, is brave and brave, and there are many thieves in his subordinates, so he is really the enemy of our army. But his name is strong and weak. Once the war began, it was difficult for the left and right flanks to have troops and horses to support them. Therefore, the minions have the courage to speak, they might as well strengthen the troops and horses of Prince Yu, and defeat Liu Zongmin with a dignified array to show the power of my Qing Heavenly Soldiers! "Hong Chengchou, who has been included in the Han Army with the Yellow Flag by Huang Taiji in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, calls himself a slave.

Dolgon made some deployment adjustments based on Hong Chengchou's suggestion. Adjust the Red Banner Manchurian Banner Lord County Wang Shuotuo to the front line of Cangzhou, replace the Anjun Wang Yue Le there, and order Yue Le to lead troops westward and join forces with Duoduo, and the two armies are unified under the command of Duoduo.

In addition, the Manchurian Mongol soldiers and horses in the Beijing Division, the former Ming troops from Gyeonggi and Xuanda, Dolgon collected 50,000 people, and ordered Hong Chengchou and Cao Zhenyan to lead the south to the area of the Daimyo Mansion to accept the command of Duoduo.

At the same time, in the name of the regent, Dolgon issued a decree clarifying the division of duties among the people at the front. Duoduo is the general of Pingnan, Yue Le is the general of rebellion, and Hong Chengchou is the envoy of the strategy. The matter of the military formation was handled by Duoduo Lord, Yue Le was deputy, and Hong Chengchou was assisted. Matters related to surrender, pacification, pacification, and resettlement of officials were all handled by Hong Chengchou.

However, when the two groups of men and horses set out from the east and north respectively, Duoduo's guilty excerpt had already been sent to the capital by an eight-hundred-mile express post station. In the first battle of the Zhanghe River, Duoduo's troops crossed the river and fought with Liu Zongmin, and suffered heavy casualties! At present, it has been returned to Zhangde Mansion for rest.

On that day, Duoduo saw that Liu Zongmin's soldiers and horses gradually appeared unsupportable, and he was quite proud. It is necessary to immediately and decisively invest more troops to expand the results of the war. This point can be regarded as the tactical characteristics of the Qing army that inherited the tactical thinking of the heavy cavalry of the Jin soldiers. Whether it is the Later Jin soldiers or the Qing soldiers, they all imitate the combat methods of the Jin soldiers. The Jin people fought, and the people of the time recorded: "The captives used more sharp formations, retreated for a while, and came again and again, each of which was as heavy as a formation." ”

The core combat power of the Eight Banners Manchuria is those heavily armored soldiers and Bayala soldiers. Although the combat strength of the Qing soldiers is not as good as that of the Jin soldiers, if they charge the battle with iron cavalry Bobo, they should not be underestimated.

Moreover, at present, the Qing army still has a large number of cannon fodder for Duoduo to squander wantonly. In addition to his core soldiers and horses with white flags, those Mongolian tribesmen, Mongolian soldiers of foreign domains, Mongolian soldiers of the Eight Banners, and soldiers and horses of the Han army several times their size are all paving stones on the road to his achievements.

The Eight Banners Manchurian soldiers were used to hold the tribal dead soldiers hostage, the dead soldiers were heavily armored to deter the Eight Banners Mongolian soldiers, the Eight Banners Mongolian soldiers were used to deter the Mongolian soldiers of the foreign domains, and the Eight Banners Manchuria and Mongolian soldiers and horses were used to suppress the Han army's soldiers and horses. In the same way, the banner of the Han army, which had a large number of soldiers, was used to suppress the Mongol tribes. This is the unique means of dividing and ruling and containing each other in the hearts of the nobles of the Eight Banners of Manchuria. At this point, Baqi's experience can be used in the company's joint-stock operation, how to control 100 oranges with one orange.

Under the threat of many threats, although the battalion is huge, the combat effectiveness of the brutal military discipline is amazing. In particular, the Han army's banner surrendered troops, in previous years, they were soldiers and horses that were about to collapse at the touch of a button, but now they are driving to fight with the elite of the Dashun army, but they are also able to fight well without falling behind. gradually replaced the status of those dead soldiers from the Suolon Department of Heilongjiang. Although at the moment, these well-equipped slave soldiers are coming from fewer and fewer sources. However, the combat effectiveness has increased with the gradual extension of the entry time. Although these slave soldiers have also heard the actions of some big leaders such as Bomu Bogol in Heilongjiang, Jilin and other places, how can they return to the birch forest in their dreams because their hometown is far away? In order to survive, he can only fight the battlefield.

A sharp cannon sounded, "Huh! "Wooh!" The sound of arrows sounded in the Eight Banners Array.

The sound, like a meteor passing through the canopy, rang out with the sound of these arrows. Originally, the flags in the Qing army's array, the banners that had died down, suddenly stood high, and all the Qing riders looked at the direction of the various golden dragons.

Stern Manchu voices from all sides sounded: "...... The general personally held the flag, and there was no retreat in this battle, and he was killed in the battle of Paishku, and his subordinates were all beheaded. Paishku died in battle, and all the shares were beheaded. Niu Lu Zhangjing died in battle, and Pashiku was behead......ed, "Duoduo will once again promulgate the very skillful method of continuous sitting used in Tashan.

The same military order was announced loudly in Chinese, and the Han soldiers felt chills in their backs, and the officers all gritted their teeth and worked hard to motivate their subordinates.

More than a dozen horns let out a dull roar, and the sound of the horns spread all over the front and back of the Qing army's large array, with dense spears and swords raised high, and tens of thousands of arms erected like a forest.

Tens of thousands of war horses neighed in unison, like a strong wind blowing through the forest. With the neighing of horses, waves of Qing cavalry began to move slowly towards the Shunjun position on the other side of the river.

"It is said that you Liu Zongmin is a man who strikes iron, and today, this king is going to beat you, an ironworker, into a piece of scrap copper and rotten iron!"

Seeing his subordinates slamming into the embankment with the momentum of shocking waves towards the other side of the river, the Shun army seemed to be a little thin and fragile, and Duoduo under the weaving golden dragon looked high-spirited.

Liu Xiyao and Lin Chengcheng's team began to retreat south.

The Qing cavalry was in hot pursuit, and the infantry of the brigade also began to cross the Zhanghe River behind the cavalry.

"Keep it up! Tonight, I will camp in Liu Zongmin's camp! Reward the three armies with the baggage grain and grass of the rogue! ”

Just as he was triumphant, there was a burst of cannon fire on the other side of the river!

The sound of the cannon was mixed with the continuous sound of firecrackers, which made Duoduo, who was still full of interest and arrogance just now, gradually turn pale. Emotions fell from the Himalayas into the Mariana Trench in the blink of an eye.

This is clearly the trap that Liu Zongmin's old thief has designed a long time ago! Lured the king's army across the river to attack, and then he used a pre-ambushed artillery team and firecrackers to cover up and kill my soldiers and horses across the river!

The sound of guns on the other side of the river was so tight that it never seemed to stop.

The troops that had never crossed the river, the troops that had not engaged the Dashun army, quickly retreated to Hebei under Duoduo's urgent order, and watched as the Qing soldiers who had rushed into the ambush circle were bombarded by the impermeable fire net.

Finally, as the sun set, the sound of guns and the crashing of weapons on the south bank of the river stopped, and the wind carried a thick bloody gas and faint moans. The last few banners of the Dashun army also disappeared as the sun sank in the west.

Guarded by thousands of elite horsemen, Duoduo crossed the river with a group of princes, Bellor, to inspect the battlefield.

As soon as you set foot on the south bank of the Zhanghe River, there are dead and wounded lying on the damp ground, and the further south you go, the more dead and wounded you are. However, it is obvious that most of the dead and wounded soldiers were Qing soldiers with shaved hair and pigtails, and most of the armor on their bodies was stripped off. It can be seen that the Shun army cleaned the battlefield very carefully before returning to the camp satisfied.

After walking for several miles, the ravines in front of me are vertical and horizontal. Judging from the freshness of the excavated soil, these trenches were dug out by the soldiers and horses of the Shun army and the cavalry of the Qing army during the bitter battle in the Zhanghe River, and waited for the Qing army brigade to arrive here before bombarding them with firearms and artillery!

Between the trenches, the corpses and wounded of the Qing soldiers of various banners were scattered all over them, and the banners and broken weapons were within reach. Under the beating firelight, the strange smell formed by the unpleasant smell of blood and various bodily fluids of the human body mixed together greeted the face, and the moans of various dying strugglers continued. The rich smell of gunpowder and sulfur doesn't seem to have dissipated yet, and when combined with the smell of blood, it's really disgusting.

In particular, the fire guns of the Zhenshan Battalion used fire guns made in the south of the country, which had a long range and great power. Whoever is struck by the fire is struck by a firebolt, most of them have holes in their chests and abdomen, and their internal organs and intestines flow out.

The artillery battalion commanded by Zhang Nai concentrated nearly 200 artillery pieces, of which the Da Folang machine was the mainstay. Shotguns for all use! At close range, the centaurs were even more torn to pieces. The puddles of rotten flesh and limbs between the trenches, as well as all kinds of large intestines, small intestines, heart, liver, lungs, etc., plus the blood flowing everywhere under their feet like a stream, mixed with the mud, made everyone's footsteps and horses' hooves step on, sticky and slippery, it is really disgusting.

Rao is Duoduo has followed his father and brother to fight in all directions since he was a child, and he is used to seeing corpses everywhere. But in such a small area, so many corpses have never been seen. Everything in front of him silently explained to him the power of the concentrated use of firearms, which shocked his heart too much.

"No wonder the second brother smashes the pot and sells iron, but he also has to train his own firecrackers! It's a pity that the general's firecrackers were not brought! ”

Listening to the reports of the subordinate generals on the number of men and horses lost by each department: the Eight Banners of Mongolia lost more than 2,000 people, the Eight Banners of Manchuria lost nearly 1,000 people, the Eight Banners Han Army lost more than 7,000 people, and his Baya soldiers with white flags of Manchuria also lost hundreds of people. After this battle, Duoduo lost more than 10,000 people alone, and the loss of horses, armor, knives, guns, and equipment was not counted.

Looking at the dense corpses of people and horses in front of him, all kinds of messy stumps and intestines, thick pools of blood that overflowed his feet, and a pungent strange smell, he couldn't help it anymore, he only felt a fishy sweetness in his throat, a churning in his chest, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth!

By the time Yue Le learned the news of the defeat of the Zhanghe army on the way, and personally led the light cavalry to the Daimyo's mansion day and night, Duoduo had been lying on the sickbed for a few days. Although his condition has improved somewhat, his face is still yellow and scorched.

"Uncle Fifteen! Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers! It's not like we've lost battles, so why are you so angry? Yue Le watched Duoduo, who was usually like a dragon and a tiger, become like this, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad that the rabbit died and the fox died.

"Yue Le, when you come, I feel at ease." Duoduo exchanged a few polite words with Yue Le, and then ordered someone to take him to the city to inspect and see the injuries after the Battle of Zhanghe, so that he could have an intuitive understanding of the losses caused by this defeat.

Although Duoduo had said several times that most of the losses were the surrender of the Han army that had joined after entering the pass, the gloomy clouds and mist in the city of Zhangde Mansion still made Yue Le's heart tremble. Public buildings such as the Confucian Temple, the Guandi Temple, the God of Wealth Temple, the Shanshan Guild Hall, and the treasury of the official office were all requisitioned and became temporary recuperation and treatment centers. Rao is still not enough, many large houses have also been forcibly requisitioned and used, and tents have been set up in the streets and alleys to receive the wounded.

The Lang Zhong people from several pharmacies and medical centers in the city were all arrested to treat the wounded Qing soldiers, and they were busy shuttling back and forth.

Before Yue Le and his party had even entered the gate of the Confucian Temple, they heard the groans of the wounded one after another, and the smell of blood, mixed with the smell of spirits, plasters, and herbs.

"Many of our lottery numbers have been hit by the thieves, but luckily they have not broken their bones. There is no serious danger to life. However, if you want to survive, you have to take out the projectile. The Duoduo Pala Lama Zhangjing whispered to the king of Anjun about the treatment of the wounded.

Although most of these people are newly attached troops, after all, the Han army is now outnumbered. If it is not treated, it will inevitably affect the morale of the army.

"However, it is not easy to dig out the projectile."

What Baya Lajangjing said is also true. The projectile enters the body, the position is mostly deep, and there is no X-ray machine in this era, which can determine the location of the projectile, if you want to dig out the projectile, you can only expand the wound and find the location of the projectile, so that this small lead can be taken out.

Not only did there be no X-ray machine, but there were also no drugs such as anesthetics, and when many of the wounded were cut off, they cried and cried out for their mothers. Hearing that others were upset, coupled with the blood flowing, others were terrified.

However, there were also a few accompanying military doctors in the Duoduo army, who were scattered from Wu Biao's model brigade back then, and had some experience in how to diagnose and treat gun injuries. According to their tricks, the Lang Zhong who were captured from nearby states and counties also treated them in the same way.

First use boiling water and salt water to clean the body and the wound perimeter, and wash it several times, but also use a large ball of white cotton, wet it with spirits, and constantly wipe the wound blood clots, some seriously injured sergeants, need a lot of cotton.

"These tricks are said to have been learned from Nanban back then. Spirits can be effective in preventing wound infections later in life. It is indeed a good way, but spirits, cotton, these are extremely expensive good things, and these barbarian soldiers used to treat the Han army banner consume such valuable things, and the minions are always a little unwilling in their hearts. ”

Nabaya Laxu Zhangjing didn't hide his inner thoughts from Yue Le at all, and just poured out his dissatisfaction with the barbarians like Duoduo who spent money to save the Han army banner.

No wonder he said so. In this troubled world, human life is really as cheap as ants. Not to mention washing the wound with salt water and strong wine to clear cotton, even if you apply some gold sore medicine and then use a cloth to cover the wound, it is a very luxurious thing. Because, for the leading officers of this era, the casualties of their subordinates are numbers. As long as the subordinates have never run out, there are people who serve as soldiers and eat food.

"Moreover, this is only preliminary, after the lead is removed, the wound must be cleaned again and again. Then the medicine is applied, and finally the wound is tightly wrapped with something called gauze, and the dressing is changed regularly in the future, and there is also oral medicine until it heals. ”

"During this period, my master also ordered these numbers to nourish their bodies, and to buy meat eggs from all over the world for them. Let them eat superbly! However, the minions did the math, and in this way, the cost of a lottery number is very large! ”

The white-flaged Manchurian Baya Lama Zhangjing chattered to Yue Le endlessly, saying how huge the cost was to treat these color numbers.

"So, the master of your family is Prince Yu and a general. You can only be his Baya Lama Zhangjing! Yue Le reprimanded him impatiently.

He had already guessed the intention of Duoduo to save the lottery at great expense.

"Uncle Fifteen is really powerful! This is obviously to learn from Liu Bei and win the hearts of the people and the army! ”

Huang Taiji issued a holy decree that year, ordering all banners of the Eight Banners to learn to read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The generals of the Eight Banners took this book as a guideline and learned the art of war and tactics from it. Yue Le is no exception, but he learns more at the political level. For example, how Cao Cao was treacherous and suspicious, and how Liu Bei won people's hearts, he carefully figured it out in his heart after listening to the pen post and reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

"This move of the fifteenth uncle is just a change in Liu Bei's fall after Changban Slope! Let the soldiers of the whole army know that the prince has spent a lot of money to save the lottery, so that the whole army will be grateful. At the same time, it also set an example, so that the soldiers can avoid worries, and if there is a war, they will definitely fight bravely. Yue Le secretly speculated in his heart about Duoduo's thoughts.

Life is the same for everyone. It doesn't matter if it's a noble prince or a lowly slave. It takes a year to build guns and plant cotton, but what about a human life? It takes at least 18 years from the baby's first cry to the time it can take to fight with a knife.

How long is eighteen years? How many hurdles does it take for a person to grow to such a big size, and how much energy does it take? Therefore, from this point of view, the life of a soldier is very valuable! If these numbers are healed and return to the team, a strong warrior will be born again.

"The point is that these soldiers are bound to die for this king from now on."

Half-lying on the sickbed, Duoduo muttered to himself. (To be continued.) )
